Sleepless

I'll be eternally grateful to whoever comes up with a cure for insomnia. I tried everything, but nothing seems to work. I finally got up, turned on my computer and started fiddling with Photoshop. The result is below:

I often get insomnia too, it sucks. Plus I hate mornings anyway, so double suck then :P

Lovely wallpaper. That Ezra was talented! I agree, more fic needs to showcase his awesomeness.

What do you do about it? Any special brand f tea? milk, hot cocoa? meditation? pills? I need to be calm and collected, but I feel like I'm on fire most days.

Thank you! He sure was. I'm hopeless when it comes to fic, I'd just run in too many directions and never get anything done, so I always hope I'll find something others have written and enjoy it.

I tried ambient, it works ok, but I don't want to be dependent on those kinds of pills. I used to be able to put on headphones and listen to music and that would help a lot, but not as much lately. Sometimes if I can kill the resultant headache with aspirin I can fall asleep, but not always.

I hate taking any pills and try to avoid them if I can help it. I think it's mainly the stress that's getting to me, since I've head to deal with one blow after another in a very short time. Once that's resolved I should (hopefully) be back to normal.

And, man, as I was writing this I wondered why I haven't seen anything from you on my fpage, and went to check, only to find I didn't friend you back when I meant to! :headdesk: :rectifies: I obviously need a pen and pad of paper with me at all hours.

Yeah, I hate pills too! I have a real hard time swallowing them, even the tiny ones sometimes. My mom recently got me some multi-vitamins - she's so sure my celiac is causing deficiencies and means to fix me, she may be right, heh, who knows, anyways - they are freaking huge! (well to me they are) and I can not take them. I'm going to have to buy a pill cutter thingy, I guess.

yay to a new/old friend :D

Pronounced gag reflex here. Especially with regular, uncoated pills, which are too bitter and make me throw up. :(

I don't know about vitamins, but I do know that cutting pills is usually a very bad ides, since some are meant to dissolve in the small intestines, not your stomach because they may damage it. You should always check with your doctor whether a particular pill can be cut or not.

I totally agree with all of the first bit here.

And good call! I will remember to do that before I injure myself, lol.
